A Victorian-themed blanket I made for Jayne in London...my Ravelry Christmas 2009 Swap partner.

Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of this blanket unfolded before shipping it off to London. These pictures show it folded, but with a corner folded over so you can see both fabrics on each side.

Tresa is a friend of mine who owns a little craft and school supply store, Daisy Chain Craft & School Supplies, in the town I live in. I buy fabric from her all the time for making blankets. Her birthday was earlier this month, and I made her this blanket. The fabric for this blanket was not purchased from her store...in order for it to be a surprise I had to buy from elsewhere. I purchased the fabric at Wal-Mart in Sun Prairie, WI. The skull and heart size is fleese...so very soft! And the opposite side, black and red quilted cotton fabric was used, which I pieced together.
Needless to say, this blanket turned out fantastic and Tresa loved it, as did her daughters. :o)
